" 'Kampai' is one of the first words you shoul learn before heading off on this culinary tour of Kyoto. It is the Japanese equivalent of 'cheers' and tour guide Jane Lawson, author of Zenbu Zen, the story of finding life balance and the restorative power of Japanese cooking, is committed to your leaving the journey filled with it."

"Jane, a former publisher whose books included Peter Gilmore's Quay and Luke Nguyen's Songs of Sapa, provides an intimate look at the traditional and modern world of Kyoto from food markets adn the extraordinary food halls of the finest department stores, to restaurants immersed in the authentic ways of the past and contemporary Kaiseki dinners cooked by hot young chefs. The Journey is not just about eating but includes a look at galleries, temples, shrines, gardens and local craft stalls in Arashiyama, Higashiyama and Ninenzaka."

"Jane Lawson will be taking two unique and intimate winter tours to Kyoto, Japan in early 2014"
